Z fold 4 screen broke at

18 months. Sent to Samsung who denied warranty due to tiny dent on the spine. Tried to charge me 530£.

How many others had this experience?

Unfortunately Samsung can suggest that the damage found on the phone's hinge which I assume was from an accidental bump or drop can be attributed to the issue with the screen. 

As accidental damage is not covered under the 2 years Manufacturing Warranty they can levy a charge. 

Some people opt to buy Samsung Care+ within the relevant purchase period. 

Other options are to look at any relevant Home Contents Insurance policy, and some Bank Accounts provide cover as a perk of the account.

Or choose to pay the fee Samsung has asked for. 

If I can be of any further help then please don't hesitate to ask.  😎

2 Years !? In the UK they come with 1 year warranty. Learn your lesson, Trade it in and get a non-flippy phone. Take it from a flippy owner, they don't last. Zflip5 just as bad as the zflip4. Had them both.  Both ended up with  warranty issues.

The tech is still fragile in places. If it's enough to create a dent, could well cause screen issues.

Only issue to date I've had with my fold is the screen protector coming off - but the Samsung store said at 12 months that was a lot longer than they had been designed for
